1 x Slide controller
1 x 10K Potentiometer (Sliding potentiometer or Rotary potentiometer optional)
1 x User manual
Feature:
Model: 0043090
Operating Voltage: 12V DC, please use a power supply of 12V5A or more to power it.
Output Voltage: 12V DC
Rated current: 10A
Size of controller: 113 x 88 x 39 mm (4.5 x 3.5 x 1.5 inches)
With a stroke control knob switch and a learning button
With an externally connected 10K potentiometer
Multiple speed options: 5mm/s, 10mm/s, 15mm/s, 20mm/s, 30mm/s, 50mm/s, 100mm/s, 160mm/s
Suitable for linear actuators type A2 with internal potentiometer
The stroke of linear actuator A2 can be controlled by rotating the knob on the controller, or by operating the sliding potentiometer or rotary potentiometer connected to the controller.
Wiring:
If you want to control a 12V DC linear actuator, do as follows:
1) Connect the positive pole of DC power supply to the input terminal <+> of the controller, and connect the negative pole of DC power supply to the input terminal <-> of the controller.
2) Connect the five wires of the linear actuator to the controller in the order of black, red, blue, white, and yellow, and you can exchange the black and red wires of the linear actuator to change the moving direction of linear actuator.
3) Connect three wires of the potentiometer to the controller according to the connection diagram.
Notice: When you purchase the linear actuator and the slide controller together, we have already paired the slide controller to the linear actuator, and you can directly operate the slide controller and the potentiometer to control the extension and retraction of the linear actuator.
Operation:
Toggle the toggle switch to the right, which means the linear actuator is controlled by the knob switch.
Toggle the toggle switch to the left, which means the linear actuator is controlled by the slide potentiometer.
1) The operation by the knob switch:
Turn the knob switch to a position in its travel, the linear actuator will extend or retract to the corresponding position in its travel accordingly.
2) The operation by the slide potentiometer:
Slide the handle of the slide potentiometer to a position in its travel, the linear actuator will extend or retract to the corresponding position in its travel accordingly.
3) The operation by the rotary potentiometer:
The rotary potentiometer has a scale range from 0 to 100, which corresponds to the percentage of the corresponding travel of the linear actuator.
Turn the rotary potentiometer to a position in the scale, the linear actuator will extend or retract to the corresponding position in its travel accordingly.
When the linear actuator is stopped, the status LED flashes slowly; When the linear actuator is extended or retracted, the status LED flashes rapidly.
